If everybody is happy, then something is wrong with the democratic process.

I think the success of democracy is not really police security; it's the presence of a broad middle class. The stronger the middle class of a people is, the less you have to worry about one group coming in and exploiting the democratic process for its own ends.

You cannot use the democratic process for the procurement of excellence.

Chemical weapons are something that scares everybody.

The machinery of the democratic process is really no different today from what it was 150 years ago.

The democratic process is only as great as the people who participate in it.
